North Toronto Players turns its attention to Gilbert and Sullivan's last major operetta hit, The Gondoliers. The group that gave Toronto the original Gilbert and Sullivan inspired operettas Lear Incorporated and Chelsea Moore Castle as well as adapted and modernized G&S Classics to create The Starship Pinafore, The Western Mikado and The Biker Pirates of Penzance will take The Gondoliers wonderful tunes and social commentary into the 1970's in a lively adaptation.
NTP's The Gondoliers is set in 1977. The Monarch of Memphis and Lord of the Pelvis has left the building for the last time. In Venice, the hunt is on for his long lost love child. It could be one of two Gondoliers who have just married only to find out that one of them was already married in babyhood to Casilda of Plaza Toro. Only a trip to Las Vegas will determine who is married to whom and who will become the new King of Rock and Roll.

Lindsay Burrows as Gianetta, Jory Boychuk as Marco, Tara Ferrier-Clarke as Casilda, Julius Fulop as Big Don O'Lahmbra, Michael Harms as the Duke of Plaza Toro, Devin Herbert as Luiz, Joe Likuski as Giuseppe, Roxhanne Norman as Tessa, and Emily Romano as the Duchess of Plaza Toro.
